Thanks for the info. Are you running a front one way? I don't have the woven graphite chassis or shock towers, but I do have the upper deck. I am running a ball diff in the rear, and I do have a front one way I can put in.
A 56 pinion? That's huge, where would one acquire such large pinions? Are you talking 48p or 64p? I'd prefer to stick with 48p just because I have every size from 12 to 35, but I'm not even close to hitting that ratio, is there enough adjustability in the motor mount to use 48p with a much smaller spur? Like a 52 spur, and a 30 pinion, that would put me at roughly the same ratio.

They are 64P gears, I think I have managed to get a 100S/58P to fit. I switched to 64P so anything that I say about 48p would be a wild guess.

Hang on to the front one way, but dont put it in unless you know that its ok. In some places its not allowed. Maybe not even National rule set. And in most cases its not even any help. If you have a spool throw it up front and keep a nice smooth ball diff in the rear.

Thanks for all the tips guys. I was planning on just running the stock gear diff up front for now, does anybody know if you can run those diff springs in the Sprint 2 diffs like some of HPI's other diffs? I have a bunch of those springs laying around so I figured I would at least get a feel for the stock diff before I replace it with something else.
Good tip on the front one way though, I never thought to ask the track about that.
I checked Tower for the "worlds largest pinion gears" lol, but they didn't have much above 40t. Luckily I found them on A Main, so I have some on order now.
I should be good to go now, just waiting for some brown boxes to land on my portch.
Thanks for the info!

I think thats just the beginning of what VTA can and will be.....I would love to see this type of racing at every National Level Race....hint hint...
Q is always fast and that is the point in this class, that with all the adv crap out there, you run the same/similar equipment and you bring the racing closer together...glad the move was made...
